Iconic director and choreographer (1895–1976) whose lavish, elaborate dance numbers defined the look of movie musicals in the 1930s and 1940s. Four books from Berkeley’s personal collection, including two signed: Webster’s Dictionary, signed in blue ballpoint on the first free end page, “Busby Berkeley, 74394 Peppergrass, Palm Desert, California”; The Advanced Real Estate Primer, signed in pencil on the front; Beyond Conflict, bearing a gift inscription to Berkeley and his wife on the first free end page; and the Directors Guild of America: 1973–1974 Directory of Members. In very good condition, with mild to heavy wear, surface creasing, rubbing, paper loss to a dustjacket, some reparative tape to the spine of the dictionary, and some rubbing and contrast to the pencil signature.
